"In a land of enemies and betrayal, only the strongest can survive." BOOK ONE OF THE 'QUEENS AND PAWNS' SERIES »»-----　♔　-----«« A story can begin when the balance between protagonist and antagonist is tipped, and even the most noble flinch away from chivalry. It can begin when spies lurk in every nook and cranny while people's loyalties grow frailer, or when enemies murmur among each other with rumours of an impending war. The story has already begun when the rightful king of the South is cast from his throne by a usurper and forced into exile. It has begun when people take up arms and call for war in his name. It has already begun when trust proves scarce, especially as the East and West remain unresponsive against it all; when even the most oblivious can sense the beginnings of a war emerging on the horizon. The story can turn down another path when King Lucian of the North refuses to acknowledge the notion of war. He knows that if war truly began, his attempts at peace amid the massacre would be futile. While he remains trapped in a cage of denial, an enemy in the shadows starts to don armour. »»-----　♔　-----«« Credits to @km_sandoval for the cover RUNNER UP FOR THE CREATIVITY AWARDS 2019 FIRST PLACE IN THE PAPER AWARDS 2020 FIRST PLACE IN THE BELLES LETTRES AWARDS 2020 JOINT FIRST PLACE IN THE BUTTERFLY AWARDS 2020 WINNER IN THE PASSION AWARDS 2020

'"I cannot feel this way. You clearly don't feel-" "I do though." He interrupts me. I finally look up to meet his eyes. It holds so much sadness. "Believe it or not but it hurts me every time I see tears in your eyes." His hands reach for my face, one more time and gently wipes the tears off my face. No matter what, the tears keep flowing down. "Please don't cry." He whispers. "You have someone out there just for you. Waiting for you." I whisper softly. A sad smile forms on my face that is now saltier than the ocean bed itself. I try to tug his hand off my face, but his hold is firm. He leans his head down and places it against mine. "I know." His whisper equally soft. "You need to let go. Just as I am." I close my eyes and take in the breeze of ocean that surrounds him and now me. I hear a deep growl just as his hold tighten on my face but it's still gentle.' For the little Raven that was born out the woods, life was only about the survival of fittest. Hunt or be hunted.
